Puddle length draperies extend anywhere from 4 to 9 inches beyond the floor for a &#8220;puddle&#8221; effect of fabric on the floor. We do not recommend puddle length draperies in high traffic areas or for functional drapes, only for stationary panels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sill-Length<\/strong> \u2013 Sill length draperies typically hang at the bottom of the sill up to about 3\u201d below the sill for a more casual look or to accommodate items below the window, such as radiators or furniture.
